The next day, with wounded pride and a sore hip, Mason remained in bed. Two days later, he again crossed the Delaware River — this time by boat — and joined Dixon in lodgings a few miles from Mr. Bryan’s field and the Post Marked West. There the two men prepared a precise plan for running the Western Line.

One star, Delta Ursae Minoris, had steered the course for the Tangent Line. Mason now chose five key stars as the guides for the West Line. They are commonly known as Vega, Deneb, Sadr, Delta Cygni, and Capella. These stars are found in the constellations Lyra, Cygnus, and Auriga. Using this many stars would firmly anchor the team to the West Line’s latitude, which gradually curves around the earth.
